Victoria Falls of Zambia and Zimbabwe is one of the world’s mostspectacular natural wonder, and it appeals to travelers all across theglobe. The Zambezi River flows placid and broad to the edge of a basaltlip measuring 1700 meters before plunging 100 meters into the frothy,thunderous abyss below.HistoryThe history of Victoria Falls does not go back too far from now, asit was only discovered in November of 1855 by David Livingstone.However, today the falls continues to be as allusive a destination asit was to the explorers, surveyors, missionaries, and hunters of the1800s. The impulse to travel to the falls is the same, but the pursuitis only a little bit different.AdventureVictoria Falls is the biggest waterfall in the whole world, and itserves as a safari gateway for Southern Africa. The falls has become avery popular place for visitors to go white water rafting, riverboarding, and even bungee jumping. The downstream rapids of the riverafter the falls provide some of the scariest river boarding and whitewater rafting for beginners, as well as those who have experience, thananywhere else.ActivitiesBungee jumpers also enjoy the thrill of Victoria Falls, where theycan jump down 111 meters off of the bridge by the falls, which was justrecently named the highest commercial bungee jump in the world. Asidefrom rafting and bungee jumping, however, visitors can also enjoy birdwatching, aerial trips on a helicopter, walking trails, shopping, etc.as well.
